Turkey Proudfoot in "Bluster"

"Oh, very well!" the rooster replied. "I'm glad there's no great trouble. When I heard Henrietta calling me I thought she was in danger." He turned, then, to slink away behind the barn. "Don't desert me!" Henrietta Hen besought him. "Help! Help!" Turkey Proudfoot waved a wing at the rooster. "Don't pay any attention to her!" he said. "She's excited. I'll have her calmed down in no time."
"Of course I'm excited!" Henrietta Hen cried. "Don't let him deceive you, Mr. Rooster! He's been threatening me!"
